Shuttle Bus Schedule
Western has campuses across western Sydney and one in the Sydney CBD. Our campuses are located close to public transport, and public or university parking. Visit our Campuses page to find out about the different ways you can get to uni.
The free university shuttle bus runs at our Campbelltown, Hawkesbury, Parramatta, and Penrith campuses. You can view schedules below and also track the shuttle bus in real-time using the Shuttle Tracker (opens in a new window).
